"An exceptional series of contemporary music concerts." - Musical Pointers

Inspired in part by Mihail Chemiakin's 'Children are the victims of adult vices' (a series of grotesque sculptures located in a park in Bolotnaya Square, Balchug, 800 metres south of the Moscow Kremlin) this unique work is the result of a collaboration between two of Ireland’s most dynamic compositional voices – Brian Irvine and Jennifer Walshe.

CHROMA’s accordionist Ian Watson is on a mission to demonstrate what an amazing, surprising and versatile instrument the modern accordion is in this programme featuring a Michael Nyman world premiere plus pieces by Gavin Bryars, Philip Glass & Wojciech Kilar.

This event gives a brief glimpse into Minimalism's connections with Indian music and presents feminist perspectives on the movement. Artists include Claudia Molitor, Mikhail Karikis and Juice Vocal Ensemble.
